Mark Bishop Obituary in Memphis at R.S. Lewis & Sons Funeral Home

Obituary For Mark Bishop

Mark’s journey began April 19, 1948 in Memphis, Tennessee. Born to Jesse H. Bishop, Jr. (paternal father) and Emily LaMondue Bishop Jackson, his arrival brought joy to both the Bishop and LaMondue family. In his family, he saw strong men who shaped him with principles, character and love. These giants included Jesse Henry Bishop, Sr. (grandfather), Isson H. Jackson (Dad), Eloyne F. LaMondue, Sr. (grandfather) and James J. Bishop (uncle). Mark truly loved his family and friends. He was preceded in death by his father, Jesse H. Bishop, Jr.; stepfather, Isson H. Jackson; and his sister, Lisa C. Bishop-Walker (Cliff). Left to cherish his memory: Carolyn, his wife, and children, Marjon Aleta Bishop and Mark Austin Bishop (Brandi); two grandchildren, Lauryn Mari’ Bishop and Austin Karter Bishop; his mother, Emily LaMondue Jackson; sister, Iris H. Jackson; brother, Julian B. Bishop (Rosa); niece, Emily R. Foreman; aunt, Jo Terrell LaMondue; uncles, James J. Bishop (Rudine) and Ernest LaMondue (Norma); and his stepmothers, Geneva Evans Bishop and Beverly Bishop. The closeness of the family is highlighted by the relationships of all the cousins, many of whom today lovingly refer to each other as “brother” and “sister”.

Family will receive friends on Saturday, April 11, 2020 from 2:00pm- 4:00pm at R. S. Lewis & Sons Funeral Home, 2944 Walnut Grove Rd. Memphis, TN 38111. Funeral Service will be live stream on Monday, April 13, 2020 at 1:00pm via Facebook --> RS Lewis (https://www.facebook.com/rs.lewis.98)
